Coalition for Smarter Growth joins fight for transit dollars in Montgomery County

Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit the Coalition for Smarter Growth has joined the cause for transportation dollars to build the Purple Line and Bus Rapid Transit system, both of which supporters say would ease congestion in Bethesda, BethesdaNow.com reported.

The nonprofit, which until now has dealt largely with Northern Virginia transportation and sprawl issues, has turned its attention to Montgomery County and will host an event Feb. 13 at the Silver Spring Civic Building focused on the area.
